Qualifications

Minimal qualification requires BS/MS degree EE or CS with [  5-7+ years (T4) ] of experience in relevant experience.

As a [Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ] you will be responsible for scheduling, designing, developing, and supporting UVM-based verification environments, processes, and methodologies for IP models of system level memory such as SDRAM (LPDDRx, DDRx, HBMx), DFI PHY, UFS, and complex storage memory models for use on hardware-based verification products.

·         Must analyze customer & vendor protocol requirements and execute on highly complex verification projects from requirements through delivery to post-delivery support.

·         Must analyze product-wide feature requirements and execute on their verification.

·         Must integrate additional related tools and processes—including coverage, reporting, and regressing—to build a robust team-level verification structure and competence. 

Additional responsibilities include the following:

·         Researching tools, languages, methodologies and prototype processes to enhance product verification as well as to demonstrate product quality.

·         Updating, enhancing, maintaining, and supporting existing system level UVM test environments for memory model products.

·         Supporting product (IP Library) regression, OS compliance, process automation, and product release preparation as needed.

Job Responsibilities & Skills: [Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ]
